Previews

This year alone Spotify has created brilliant, exclusive content in collaboration with artists like Daft Punk, Avicii and Kendrick Lamar, but now we’re ready to go further. Say hello to Spotlight, the new home for a whole host of fantastic music, the freshest discoveries and the hottest recommendations right at the heart of Spotify.

Spotlight will show you what’s hot and who’s next, plus there’ll be the coolest exclusives, pre-releases, b-sides and remixes alongside new artist recommendations, playlists, track-by-track commentaries and video interviews.

We’re launching Spotlight with two of the most exciting artists in the world today, Los Angeles’ own HAIM and New Zealand’s Lorde. There’s never been anything like this on Spotify before, so if you’re ready to meet your next favourite new band and discover a world of amazing music then we’ll meet you there.

For the best freshest recommendations and hottest tracks of the year so far, follow our Spotlight On 2013 playlist:

It’s here. Spotify for Android is getting a complete overhaul and we wanted you to get a special preview. Here’s what’s coming:

Totally new app with full support for Android 4.0

Top-to-bottom redesign

All-new slide-out navigation

Even more social – check out friends’ profile pages and playlists on the go

Artist imagery in high resolution

Related artist view – available for the first time on mobile

‘Extreme’ sound quality setting for 320kbps listening

So much faster!

That’s not the end of it. We’re working hard on adding further features, including folders and Last FM scrobbling, before the app goes live in Google Play.

In order to get your hands on the all-new Android preview, firstly set your phone to allow installation from ‘Unknown Sources’ by going to the Settings > Applications > Unknown sources menu. Once that’s done, click on the button below on your phone to get the update.

As with all Spotify Mobile apps, you’ll need a Premium subscription to get your music on the move. Head over here to sign up for our 30-day Spotify Premium trial.
